I thought you folks might like to see a real beautiful car from the good ol days http://community-2.webtv.net/winger84/Dougandhis78Cordoba/index.html > I thought you folks might like to see a real beautiful car from the > good ol days > > http://community-2.webtv.net/winger84/Dougandhis78Cordoba/index.html Rrrrrrrrrrich Corrrrrrrrrrinthian Leatherrrrrrrrrr.... > I thought you folks might like to see a real beautiful car from the > good ol days 1978 was not the "good old days". 1978 was near the nadir of vehicle performance and economy in North America. Reminds me of my brother 1975 Charger Special Edition. (Like the Cordoba and Magnum) It had a 400 CID Engine and a Quadrajet carb Boy! that thing sucked gas like nobodys business. I still remember the commercial "Hey Charger" > > I thought you folks might like to see a real beautiful car from the > > good ol days > > 1978 was not the "good old days". 1978 was near the nadir of vehicle > performance and economy in North America. >Reminds me of my brother 1975 Charger Special Edition.

Agreed- 78 was automotive hell. But that being said, the Cordoba was still on the B-body platform at that time (prior to being banished to F/M/J body hell), could still be had with big-block power, and WAS one of the few "good ones" still available. And that is a NICE example. > >> I thought you folks might like to see a real beautiful car from the > >>good ol days [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > F/M/J body hell), could still be had with big-block power, and WAS one > of the few "good ones" still available. And that is a NICE example. It just goes to show, too, that even though Chrysler was practically bankrupt, their cars still had some fans. Nice car they dont make them like that any more. I use to own a 77 plymouth gran fury with a 400ci engine. It had a nice ride and good power and only 33500 miles.Sold it about five years ago. > I thought you folks might like to see a real beautiful car from the > good ol days > > http://community-2.webtv.net/winger84/Dougandhis78Cordoba/index.html Man, that is an awesome example. I bet you're the only one at the car show with a t-top Cardoba Acually I did 3 car shows this past summer and yes I was the only Cordoba there. It seems to bring back alot of memories for people, one kid thoght I should lower it and put on a ground package, I just kinda laughed. > Acually I did 3 car shows this past summer and yes I was the only > Cordoba there.

It's amazing so many stupid kids survive to become grownups. > I thought you folks might like to see a real beautiful car from the > good ol days > > http://community-2.webtv.net/winger84/Dougandhis78Cordoba/index.html If it is equipped with 'rich corinthian leather' wow! the ultimate chick magnet I think they are underrated cars particularly if you are in a state where you can put an aftermarket manifold and four barrel on and ditch the EGR, catalysts, and all that disgusting plumbing. Yes you must figure out the advance and carb jets so it will run well. If you must run emissions I would either go to a modern computer engine (there must be a package) or go propane. If propane will shut your emissionazis up. There probably never was a factory manual in these so a five speed swap would probably be a PITA for clutch pedal and linkage. The four speed TorqueFlite would improve things. A lot. The double square headlights are ugly and the earlier round headlight nose piece would probably retrofit if you were going to paint anyway. I would definitely go to a nice set of aftermarket wheels with a reasonable tire and get rid of the vinyl top at all costs. But there are a lot of desirable 60s cars still available just as cheap and you have no emissions worries that way. > I think they are underrated cars particularly if you are in a state > where you can put an aftermarket manifold and four barrel on and ditch [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > But there are a lot of desirable 60s cars still available just as > cheap and you have no emissions worries that way. Not up north. All are either rusted to dust or locked away in someone's garage. The only time you see them is the two weeks around the dream cruise and this is in Detroit! Actually this car is from up in the northern states, the state does'nt use salt on the roads thus no rust. And I drive this car all year, I have studded tires all the way around. *Nice* car! The square headlights are ugly, though. I like my '76 model much better (but I don't have those T-tops!). ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver" Giggle Cream - it makes dessert *funny*! Just curious, what company made the t-tops? > *Nice* car! The square headlights are ugly, though.

One is reminded of Ari Onassis, who had the bar stools of his yacht, 'Christina', upholstered with whale penis hide. He was fond of casually informing female guests that they were sitting on the biggest dick in the world. |
